our fig. 1772. The running Oak. — This curious little oak is, the smallest of the genus, 
being only 20 in., or at most 2ft.,in height. The leaves are entire, smooth, or of an 
elongated oval shape, and about 2in. long : they are of a reddish tint in spring, turning 
green as the season advances, and are deciduous. The acorns are small, and round ; 
and they are few in number, because the stem of the plant is burnt down to the ground 
almost every spring, by the fires kindled in the forests to consume the dead grass ; and, 
as this oak belongs to those whose fructification is biennial, the acorns are destroyed 
before they reach maturity. This plant is confined to the maritime parts of the Caro- 
linas, Georgia, and the Floridas ; and it springs in the pine barrens, amid the numerous 
varieties of whortleberry and other plants which overspread the ground, wherever there 
is a little moisture in the soil, and the layer of vegetable mould is a few inches thick.
